Rickr01, if it helps I once hit myself in the face when a set of vise-grips slipped off an exhaust spring on my YZ 465, I was pulling so hard when they slipped, I hit myself hard enough to break my nose, brilliant!!!!!

I can go one better than that.
The day before I left for a gathering of my riding group in Maggie Valley, NC, I was going over the bike and decided to check the exhaust bolts. I was on the right side of the bike tightening the bolt where the crossover connects to the head pipe, the wrench slipped, and I knocked myself unconscious falling forward into the saddlebag crash bar.
Walked into the house with my hand over my left eye and asked my wife how bad it was. Let's just say I have a nice scar there, and my head hurt like hell during the ride the next day.
After this all happened, did you hear that little voice in your head (or maybe it was a friend) saying...."Look at the money you saved by doing it yourself!".
Well, I bet you never let that happen again.....the price of education! LOL
